Aм appeal for prayer by he patriarch Theophilos
11. April 2022 - 13:03
From the heart of the Holy City of Jerusalem, the place of Jesus Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection, We urge all Christian people throughout the world to join Us reciting in prayer Psalm 23 every Friday, beseeching the Lord for his gift of peace. As we approach the great feast of Pascha/Easter, let us pray together for peace and reconciliation, between nations, in our homes and in our hearts. As we reflect upon the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us pray to God our Good Shepherd to lead his world into peace. As we listen to St. Paul: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men… that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” [1 Timothy 2:1-2]
